The Clayton Crescent invited all five qualified candidates for sheriff in the March 21 special election to fill out a candidate survey. The purpose is to give each candidate the chance to answer specific questions about how they pledge to run the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office and to record their stances on specific issues related to CCSO and the Clayton County Jail.
Four of the five candidates had responded to Part One as of press time.
The survey was divided into two parts: a section of questions with yes or no answers, as well as a section where candidates could write short responses to more detailed questions. Candidates were told that overly long responses would be edited.
Due to a medical emergency, this coverage was delayed. We apologize.
Here is Part One, the simple yes-or-no responses. N/A means the person had not not replied as of press time.
The Clayton Crescent does not endorse candidates for public office.
